craft, activity, and snack: Sheep Trick or Treat

V & T already have their costumes picked out & have tried them on for anyone & everyone entering our house (awkward UPS guy moment ;). They are so excited to get the Halloween partying started!!! I’m sure when the trick-or-treating night is upon us, I’ll be posting all kinds of cutie pie pictures on Instagram, but until then I’ll (shhhhh) tell you their costume choices (ha-ha well, that is unless they happen to change their minds in the next 31 days – which could happen – these two LOOOOVE dress up!)

Little T is a sweet little turtle (so cute I want to eat him up!) with a little shell & tail peeking out. And, Miss V is a fairy (she was Tinkerbell last year – this girl love’s her fairy’s!), a purple fairy with little purple fairy wings & a purple fairy wand :)

To kick off the festivities in our house (albeit a month early), we dove into some books, crafts, & activities (our favorite things to do!!).

Using the circle foam brush, stamp white circles on the sheep frame (we went a little over the line on purpose to make the little sheep more realistic :), do the same for the top of the sheep head too (see details pic below).

Cut out the sheep body shape and head shape.

Add 2 medium googly eyes to your sheep.

Let dry. Once dry attach the head & body together with double stick tape.

The flash cards are a great extension activity from the book, they can be used for guided, or independent, rhyming practice and sorting. They can also be used for tracing the letters & words once laminated.

This post is part of an AWESOME Halloween Read and Play Blog Hop.

Make sure to check out the other book based activities from fantastic bloggers!

Such fun learning! I love it! The children have to be engaged prior to learning, and these activities guarantee they will remember these lessons! The sheep could also be a Halloween activity and treat at a party. You even included reading, thanks so much!
